- You reach out to us and tell us exactly what you’re hoping to get out of your valuation experience with us
- We’ll send you a letter of engagement for you to sign, initiating our collaboration together
- We’ll then look into your case and ask you for all of the information needed to begin our valuation, along with 50% of the fee
- Once you’ve sent everything we need, one of our experts will get to work creating your valuation report
- We’ll send you an initial draft report which we can use to discuss and make sure your expectations are being met
- Our expert will then finalise the report and send it to you, and the final balance will be paid
